Background

Russian government made the decision to build the Baltic Pipeline System (BPS) on October 16, 1997. The main purpose of the BPS is to export oil to the countries of Northern Europe from the fields of the Timan-Pechora oil and gas province, as well as the regions of Western Siberia and the Ural-Volga region through a new terminal in the Gulf of Finland. In 1997, Transneft prepared a Rationale for Investments in BPS, which was considered by the Expert Council under the Government of the Russian Federation. At the beginning of 1999, Transneft started developing design and estimate documentation.[14]

The BPS transports oil from Kharyaga oil field to Primorsk, reconstructing some existing pipelines on the route and building new ones: Kharyaga-Usa, Usa-Ukhta, Ukhta-Yaroslavl, Yaroslavl-Kirishi, and Kirishi-Primorsk pipelines.[14][15]

Some sources include the whole route from Kharyaga to Primork as BPS, while others refer to the portion from Yaroslavl to Primorsk as BPS. This page considers BPS as an oil pipeline starting from Yaroslavl. Hence, the main elements of the BPS-1 are:

  • Yaroslavl-Kirishi pipeline
  • Kirishi pumping station
  • Kirishi-Primorsk pipeline
  • Palkino-Primorsk pipeline
  • Oil terminal in Primorsk.[16]


Yaroslavl-Kirishi 2 oil pipeline converted to a diesel pipeline in 2015.[10][11]

Opposition

During planning and construction stages the project was criticized by environmentalists, mainly because of the Baltic Sea's status as a particularly sensitive sea area and Primorsk’s proximity to the Beryozovye Islands nature reserve, a major bird sanctuary protected by the Ramsar Convention.[17]

BPS-2

Main article: Baltic Pipeline System 2

The Baltic Pipeline System-2 (BPS-2) is a second trunk line of the system running from the Unecha junction of the Druzhba pipeline near the Russia-Belarus border to the Ust-Luga terminal on the Gulf of Finland with a 172-km long branch line to the Kirishi oil refinery. The construction of the BPS-2 started on 10 June 2009.[18] and it entered in function in late March 2012.[19]
